Knowledge Frontiers: Public Sector Research and Industrial Innovation in Biotechnology,...
Product Review "In an era of dwindling research resources and "steady state science", it is essential that the interrelationship between industrial and public sector research (PSR) be clearly understood so that government policies designed to further these linkages can be appropriate and efficacious. This British study is an important step in this process, presenting data drawn from interviews with industrial researchers (from directors to bench workers) in both the US and UK in biotechnology, engineering ceramics, and parallel computing."--Choice Product Description Fostering interaction between industry and academic and government laboratories is widely seen as an important means of facilitating growth and innovation in technology-based industries. This book investigates the research links and knowledge flows between industrial and public sector research in three new and promising fields of advanced technology--biotechnology, engineering ceramics, and parallel computing.
